samba - Oct 2013 - DFS share: free space?

Hi,

is it possible, to use DFS and show the correct values of free space?

I set up a DFS-share located on filesystem1 (size 50GB) and linked shares of
another server to this share
(msdfs:<fs>\share):

share1: size 110TB
share2: size 50TB
share3: size 20TB

But connecting to the DFS-share, the disk size of this network drive ist 50GB.
Unfortunately files larger than
50GB can not be copied to the network drive .

Any ideas?

Thanks and best,
Alex

You could use the following option in the share definition
 
    dfree command = <insert your own command here>

To report the right amount of free space. Of course you will have to
come up with your own script/code to return the correct amount of disk
space. You will also probably want to set the dfree cache time to
something none zero to prevent too many dfree commands being spawned.
